This Week in D.C: November 2-7

The Bitches scored an extra hour of brunching thanks to daylight savings time this Sunday, but the early darkness just means we’ll head out earlier for our fall festivities. Need to keep warm? Check out our Lust List with a guide to this season’s layering. To welcome in the cooler weather, we’ll be heading to a jewelry and fashion pop-up at Union Market, a neighborhood festival, and much more. See our schedule below.
